The second Lord John book was a lot of fun. John's mother is getting married (for the third time) and Lord John has a new stepbrother--Percy Wainwright. Someone is sending John's older brother Hal and his mother pages out of his dead father's last journal, which went missing after the Duke's death some years earlier. The first Duke of Pardloe, Gerard Grey, was suspected of being a Jacobite traitor and his death was ruled a suicide. John knows better: he found his father's body before anyone else did and saw how far the pistol was from him. John has a lot going on in this book, and we learn a lot about him. Complicated man, Lord John Grey.
